Load BLOB field value into a Archive file

rbuser

Hi

I am working with reportable v-6, Delphi V-6 and Sql Server v-8

The front end I created allows users to save the report into the BLOB field
in a table.

Now I wanted retrieve the report back in .rtm format.

Note

The table blob field has many rows, therefore each different user going to
retrieve different blob image.



I find it difficult to load the image field. Into a archive file.

any ideas please



thanks

Perhaps I misunderstand the question, because I do not understand how
this relates to RB Server.

A report archive stores the generated report page objects. See the
article below for storing a .raf file to a database blob.

Tech Tip: Loading an Archive File to a Blob
(or memory stream)
---------------------------------------------------

You can easily write a routine to take a .RAF file and
load it into a blob field or a TMemoryStream:

myFileStream := TFileStream.Create('myArhcive.RAF', fmOpenRead);

myFileStream.Position := 0;
myBlobField.LoadFromStream(myFileStream);

myFileStream.Free;


OR

myMemoryStream := TMemoryStream.Create;

{note: passing 0 as the second parameter will copy the entire stream}
myMemoryStream.CopyFrom(myFileStream, 0);

myMemoryStream.Free;
